What 𰭚 means

It is the rare variant used in the beast-name 土𦎹.

《山海經》 (Classic of Mountains and Seas) places it in Kunlun: a sheep-shaped creature with four sharp horns that kill what they strike; it eats people.

The book mixes geography with marvels. Scholars date its compilation from the Warring States period, when rival kingdoms fought, into the early Han dynasty.

Where is this form documented?

A Unicode source traces it to a local gazetteer.

It cites page 33 of 《甘肃省永靖县地名资料汇编》, a 1984 place-name collection from Yongjing County, Gansu. This documents the glyph, not a proven link to the mythical beast's meaning.
